That's where I was until I moved here to Springfield for college. Now I'm only a 40-ish minute drive away! (which would be more exciting if I had a car and a driver's license and a job, LOL)

I have a bicycle you can have. If you peddle fast enough you may still make in there in under an hour!  :)

I am pretty lucky compared to most of you.  I live in Aurora, Missouri.  Which is about a 50 minute drive to SDC.

520 miles (about 8 1/2 hours) coming from Joliet, IL.  But then we also have to figure in stopping at Ted Drewes in St. Louis for frozen custard.
Now that's what I'm talkin' about!!! I managed a well known frozen custard store for a bit over 5 years here in StL, and boy was it fun. It is where I met my wife, and many good friends, and it is where I spent nearly 40 hrs of my week every week, so I have eaten hundreds of lbs. of frozen custard. Now the wife and I travel to any frozen custard place we can, while we are out of town, it is the first thing we look for! Ted Drewes is great, but I am partial to Andy's -it has a bit more variety, and is SOO much creamier/ smoother. Ted Drewes DOES have the nostalgia factor though, and we visit there about 3-4 times a year (a bit easier since we live in StL!)! We visit local,we go on day trips etc. It is a blast. She chronicles all our visits, and some other topics on her blog. so far it is about 15 or 16 custard stands if my memory serves me correct...

^ North Central Oklahoma? Sounds like Guthrie or Stillwater.

I sure hope you are talking about the locally famous Highway 65! ;D

Well HollyAnn, we are neighbors, so to speak. I live in Columbus, Ks. which for those that don't know is about 15 minutes or so west of Carl Jct. over in southeast Kansas. So i will have to tack on that 15 minutes to your 1 hour and 45 minutes and say we are about 2 or so away. That is if we take back roads down, which would actually bring us in thru Branson West, or about 3 hours if we Take I-44 to Springfield and then south to Branson on 65.
